Away In A Manger

Away In A Manger - Jeannie C. Riley

Away in a manger no crib for his bed

The little lord jesus

Laid down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky

Looked down where he lay

The little lord jesus

Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing

The baby awakes

But little lord jesus

No crying he makes

I love thee lord jesus

Look down from the sky

And stay by my cradle

Till morning is nigh

Be near me lord jesus i ask thee to stay

Close by me for ever and love me i pray

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care

And fit us to heaven to live with thee there

And fit us to heaven to live with thee there
